Poule D'essai Des Pouliches ~ Longchamp on Sunday

[NoChanceToDance]

Frankie gave Rio a shocker in the French 2,000. Not saying he was good enough to win, but Frankie never even put him in the race. He kept going for gaps, which were just not there.

When are they going to get rid of him.

Zarkava looked in trouble about a furlong and a half from home, but she soon picked up. With her beating the same sort of horse each time, I'm not quite sure what to think of her. She is visually impressive each time she runs, but I'm not really convinced with what she is beationg on each occassion. If she was really THAT good, why not come over and win our Guineas (like the other classy French filly, Natagora did?) Or why not come over and win the Oaks (which doesn't look like a vintage renewal on paper yet) if she is THAT good?

Jury is still out as far as I am concerned.
